Glucose Revolution: The Life-Changing Power of Balancing Your Blood Sugar
Improve all areas of your health from your weight, sleep, cravings, mood, energy, skin, and even slow down aging,with easy-to-implement, science-based hacks to manage your blood sugar levels while still eating the foods you love.
Glucose, or blood sugar, is a tiny molecule in our body that has a huge impact on our health. It enters our bloodstream through the starchy or sweet foods we eat. Ninety percent of us suffer from too much glucose in our system-and most of us don't know it.
The symptoms? Cravings, fatigue, infertility, hormonal issues, acne, wrinkles… And over time, the development of conditions like type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, cancer, dementia, and heart disease.
Drawing on cutting-edge science and her own pioneering research, biochemist Jessie Inchauspé offers ten simple, surprising hacks to help you balance your glucose levels and reverse your symptoms-without going on a diet or giving up the foods you love. For example:
* How eating foods in the right order will make you lose weight effortlessly
* What secret ingredient will allow you to eat dessert and still go into fat-burning mode
* What small change to your breakfast will unlock energy and cut your cravings
Both entertaining, informative, and packed with the latest scientific data, this book presents a new way to think about better health. Glucose Revolution is chock-full of tips that can drastically and immediately improve your life, whatever your dietary preferences.

I thought I would give this book a try but was worried it would be another diet book that I read as part of my annual New Year's resolution to lose weight and then end up not doing anything with it and putting it in my large pile of other discarded diet books -- but boy, was I happily mistaken!! This is not a traditional diet book at all. In fact, this book has easy-to-follow "hacks" to help even out blood sugar after meals. I had gestational diabetes and also pre-diabetes and have had blood sugar and resulting energy issues post meals. I started trying some of her tips for example, change the order in which to eat food groups at a meal, and I am already feeling a real difference. I really liked her illustrations showing a graphic difference of blood sugar levels -- particularly helpful for me was to not eat sugar on an empty stomach. I recommend this book.

I love her knowledge and how she presents her knowledge. A simple method to implement into any life style. I hope she creates a cook book!

Long-waited explanation out there on the importance of glucose level paired with solutions! Best health book of the year, hands down and get one.

This is the most useful, realistic and practical book on healthy eating I have ever read. Not to mention the easiest to read. The first part has scientific explanations that are engaging and easy to understand (I know-shocking, right?). Then come the hacks-wow! They’re easy to do and make it easy to improve your veggie intake. I have never felt that I would be able to give up sugar but after reading the Glucose Revolution I feel I can definitely lower my sugar intake and glucose spikes without totally depriving myself. If you have a sugar issue you NEED to read this book. It’s seriously life changing. Oh and make sure to follow the Glucose Goddess on instagram!
Short Excerpt Teaser
Chapter 1: Enter the Cockpit: Why Glucose Is So Important
1 ENTER THE COCKPIT Why Glucose Is So Important
Navigating our health sometimes feels like glancing into an airplane cockpit on the way to our seat. We see complicated stuff everywhere: screens, dials, flashing lights, knobs, switches, levers… buttons to the left, buttons to the right, buttons on the ceiling (no, but really, why do they have buttons on the ceiling?). We look away feeling grateful that the pilots know what they are doing. As passengers, all we care about is whether or not the plane stays in the air.
When it comes to our bodies, we are the clueless passengers, but-plot twist-we're also the pilots. And if we don't know how our bodies work, it's as if we're flying blind.
We know how we want to feel. We want to wake up with a smile, feeling energized and excited for the day. We want to have a skip in our step, feel pain free. We want to spend quality time with our loved ones, feeling positive and grateful. But it can be challenging to know how to get there. We're overwhelmed by all the buttons. What to do? Where to start?
We should start with glucose. Why? Because it's the lever in the cockpit with the biggest bang for its buck. It's the easiest to learn about (thanks to continuous glucose monitors), it affects how we feel instantaneously (because it influences our hunger and mood), and many things fall into place once we get it under control.
If our glucose levels are out of balance, dials flash and alarms go off. We put on weight, our hormones get out of whack, we feel tired, we crave sugar, our skin breaks out, our hearts suffer. We inch closer and closer to type 2 diabetes. If our body is the plane, the symptoms are the pitch, roll, and yaw of a machine out of control. And these strongly indicate that we need to rectify something to avoid a crash. To get back into ideal cruising mode, we need to flatten our glucose curves.
How do we move this lever? Very easily-with what's on our plate.
